Pepe is a beloved internet meme, not a symbol of hate. Rightoid asshats need to leave pepe and doge the fuck alone. >:(

I thought it came from 4chan, but it actually comes from Myspace. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepe_the_Frog

Wtf pepe is considered alt-right because alt-right uses them sometimes??? I hear they also use English! Maybe English needs to get banned!

Yeah, I'm very much in the camp of "fuck you, you don't get to have it" when it comes to extremist groups trying to co-opt other symbols.

It's extremely doable--the LGBT population has largely succeeded at doing exactly that with "queer", for example--these days, basically nobody utters that word as a pejorative. Fuck you, it's ours now. See what I mean?

There are way more of us than them, we could literally do this for everything these dipshits try to 'claim'.
